Christmas Medallion

 

 A while ago, whilst blog hopping, I remember seeing that someone had used the large Medallion stamp to make a Christmas card and thought what a good idea it was. Unfortunately I can't find it now and don't remember what it looked like, or who made it, but thank you for the idea whoever it was. I stamped the Medallion in Old Olive onto a square of Whisper White and added some berries (more on those later), the sentiment is from Perfect Punches stamped in Real Red, cut out with a circle punch and placed in the centre of the main image with dimensionals. A bow of narrow Real Red Taffeta ribbon added at the bottom, a sprinkling of Dazzling Diamonds, matted and layered onto Real Red and a white card blank and job done!

Now for a bit more on those berries - I had a Vicky* moment (sadly I don't get these too often!) and used my crpo-a-dile to punch out three of the larger circles from a piece of scrap rubber that you get left over from the stamp sets, and mounted them onto the end of a thin wood mount and, hey presto, ready made holly berries. I simply highlighted them with a white gel pen to give them some depth.
